Downtown District Ordinance

A new downtown zoning district is being developed to guide future growth of our city’s historic core. With the input of downtown businesses, property owners, residents, volunteers and other stakeholders, the proposed district is ready for review and your input prior to adoption.

The purpose of the district is to offer flexibility in how properties can be used and directs future development of the downtown and immediate surrounding areas. It is important to note that this proposed zoning ordinance will apply to future development, uses and design.

Please note:

• The zoning district, should it be adopted by City Council, will not call for removal of any existing business or residential home.
• Any existing signage that is in place will be allowed to remain in place as long as it is kept in good repair.
• The proposed district would be aimed at developing new standards for new development while providing opportunities for more flexible use of existing properties.
